Prestige Estates FY26 pre-sales hit Rs 30,024 crore

Key takeaway for investors

Prestige Estates Projects Ltd. closed FY26 with its highest-ever annual sales bookings (pre-sales) of Rs 30,024 crore, up 76% year-on-year, supported by strong demand for housing and steady bookings across launches and existing inventory. The company also reported sharp growth in quarterly profitability and revenue, alongside higher collections and operating cash flow for the year. The updates come after a weaker FY25, when pre-sales fell to about Rs 17,023 crore and missed earlier guidance due to fewer launches amid approval delays.

FY26 operational performance: bookings, volumes, and collections

Prestige said it delivered its highest annual sales of over Rs 30,000 crore in FY26, reflecting over 76% growth year-on-year. Sales volumes grew 77% year-on-year to 22.28 million square feet. Collections crossed Rs 18,500 crore, reflecting 53% year-on-year growth.

In another FY26 operational disclosure, the company reported sales of Rs 30,024.5 crore and collections of Rs 18,514.6 crore, which aligned with the “over Rs 30,000 crore” and “crossed Rs 18,500 crore” commentary. Prestige also highlighted that certain launches recorded a sales velocity of 63%, contributing Rs 17,300 crore in FY26 sales.

Q4 FY26 pre-sales rose 10% to Rs 7,697 crore

Prestige reported a 10% rise in Q4 (January to March 2026) pre-sales to Rs 7,697 crore, citing better demand for its housing properties. In a separate market update, the company reiterated that the January to March quarter alone delivered Rs 7,697 crore of pre-sales, with bookings consistent across new project launches and existing inventory.

The stock reacted positively to the operational momentum, with Prestige Estates Projects zooming 8.21% to Rs 1,322.90 after the Q4 pre-sales update.

Full-year FY26 financial performance: two reported revenue figures

In its full-year performance commentary, Prestige said revenue stood at Rs 13,196 crore, registering 71% year-on-year growth. EBITDA stood at Rs 4,219 crore, up 43% year-on-year, while CAT stood at Rs 1,312 crore, reflecting 113% growth year-on-year. EBITDA margin was reported at 32%, while CAT margin was 9.9%. The company also said it generated operating cash flow of approximately Rs 7,100 crore in FY26, up 58% year-on-year.

Separately, for FY26, Prestige Estates reported a 155.72% increase in consolidated net profit to Rs 1,195.5 crore, while revenue from operations climbed 72.60% year-on-year to Rs 12,685.4 crore.

Q3 FY26 snapshot and momentum during the year

Prestige had also reported strong Q3 FY26 numbers, with consolidated net profit surging to Rs 222.6 crore from Rs 17.7 crore in Q3 FY25. Revenue from operations rose to Rs 3,872.6 crore in Q3 FY26 from the prior-year quarter.

On the operational front, the company reported a 39% year-on-year increase in Q3 FY26 sales bookings to Rs 4,183.6 crore, and pre-sales of Rs 22,327.3 crore during the first nine months of FY26. The company also reported improved pricing, with average realisation rising 6% year-on-year to Rs 14,459 per square foot.

What changed versus FY25

Prestige’s FY26 recovery follows a softer FY25, when it missed its sales target as bookings declined 19% to Rs 17,023 crore, below the guided Rs 24,000 crore. The company had attributed the FY25 miss mainly to a lack of adequate new project launches due to approval delays.

The FY26 trajectory suggests a stronger launch calendar and better conversion, as reflected in the year’s high sales velocity for launches and the sharp expansion in pre-sales.

Sector context and execution watchpoints

A broader industry view cited strong demand in premium housing and robust absorption trends, with companies guiding for 25% to 30% growth in bookings. For Prestige specifically, some external commentary flagged potential delays in project launches due to dependency on approvals and RERA clearances.

The same set of observations also pointed to uncertainty around the Prestige Hospitality IPO timeline, a quarter-on-quarter decrease in construction spend (raising execution questions), risk of market saturation in high-priced luxury segments, and a projection that net debt could reach up to Rs 12,000 crore.

Key numbers at a glance

Market impact and why the update matters

The FY26 operational update matters because real estate developers are judged heavily on pre-sales, collections, and cash generation, which typically precede revenue recognition. Prestige’s FY26 collections above Rs 18,500 crore and operating cash flow of about Rs 7,100 crore indicate strong conversion of bookings into cash.

The sharp year-on-year jump in Q4 profit and revenue also supports the view that the company is operating from a higher base compared with FY25. At the same time, launch execution remains a key monitorable, particularly given the company’s own FY25 experience of booking shortfalls due to approval delays and the stated risk of dependency on RERA clearances.

Conclusion

Prestige Estates ended FY26 with record pre-sales of Rs 30,024 crore, higher sales volumes, and collections above Rs 18,500 crore, while quarterly profitability and revenue rose sharply year-on-year. Investors will track the pace of new launches, approval timelines, and leverage indicators, alongside any clarity on the Prestige Hospitality IPO timeline.
